What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Palisade, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Palisade area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
